Gee nathan, you do have a point here. Stupid pictures and stuff need to be
eliminated. Lets not clog up the WWW here. In fact, why dont we all revert
back to VT52 terminals and 1200 baud modems.
In addition, lets get rids of gui's. After all, typing "ctrl-x 4,9312 ctrl-y"
is more effective than clicking on the "Bold" button. And since I can type the
sequence in approximately 1.021 seconds, and click the button in 1.023
seconds, that means that I am saving .002 seconds every time I need to change
some text to bold in my favorite word processor.
Its refreshing to know that you still support Lynx on your pages. Maybe
someone who doesn't have a newer computer, or any recent knowledge of
computers can understand your archaic view of technology too...
I would recommend that you not discriminate against those that still
communicate via morse code, or a teletype. make sure that your web page
supports them too...
